Toward a Feminist Ethics of Nonviolence

Toward a Feminist Ethics of Nonviolence brings together major feminist thinkers to debate Cavarero¿s call for a postural ethics of nonviolence and a sociality rooted in bodily interdependence.
Toward a Feminist Ethics of Nonviolence brings together three major feminist thinkers¿Adriana Cavarero, Judith Butler, and Bonnie Honig¿to debate Cavarero¿s call for a postural ethics of nonviolence. The book consists of three longer essays by Cavarero, Butler, and Honig, followed by shorter responses by a range of scholars that widen the dialogue, drawing on post-Marxism, Italian feminism, queer theory, and lesbian and gay politics. Together, the authors contest the boundaries of their common project for a pluralistic, heterogeneous, but urgent feminist ethics of nonviolence.
